I'm not sure about AMD products... But I think you will have a bottleneck with that 280x and CPU.

I just did a quick google search and confirmed my suspicions.

You will get the bottleneck in CPU incentive games but you can OC the processor to reduce the bottlenecking.

A 650 watt PSU will be enough for r9 280x no need for 750 watt PSu but if you are going for 750 watt PSu go with EVGA G2 if you go with corsasir go with HX,tx,ax series and avoid the cx,vs,rm,cs series.
